Atlantic Ghost Crab

Ocypode quadrata

Description:

Lol. once described as an "occult, secretive alien from the ancient depths of the sea". Yeah, I'll give them that. Their juveniles look like the sand, especially since I saw my first one at dusk! They scurry very quickly toward their burrow, but stand still if you see them. :)
